La gente a mantenido esta magica tradicion a traves de las generaciones y aqui te presentamos la historia: 3 Magos de Oriente adoran a Jesus recien nacido y arrodillados ofrecen sus cofres con incienso, oro y mirra (Mateo 2:1-12). Esta revelacion de Jesus a los Reyes de Oriente es conmemorado posteriormente por la Iglesia Romana. Tiempo despues los franceses ilustran este evento con un pan de forma octagonal que esconde una semilla de haba que simboliza al Nino Jesus escondido en un lugar seguro donde el Rey Herodes no lo pueda encontrar. De Francia pasa a Espana, y son ellos precisamente quienes en conquista por America muestran esta ensenanza catolica. La festividad de la Rosca de Reyes no solo es adoptada en Mexico, sino que tambien se amalgama con el toque indigena en su decoracion con fruta silvestre.

Rosca de Reyes. El Pan.
La tradicional Rosca de Reyes tiene un sabor exclusivo que lo diferencia de cualquier otro pan. Aunque es un pan hecho de ingredientes basicos como son: mantequilla, harina, azucar, huevo y levadura tambien lleva un toque citrico para darle sabor y aroma especial. La fruta cristalizada que lo adorna son : viznaga multicolor (cactus silvestre), cerezas, higos y naranja. Esta fruta cristalizada armoniza el exterior del pan dandole el color y sabor deseado. Despues de horneada la Rosca de Reyes, este fino pan puede ya finalizar en su mesa para su deleite en compania de todos sus seres queridos.

People have continued, through the ages, this magical tradition in several countries, but to make this story short here I go:

3 Wise Men coming from the Far East find Baby Jesus and offered him myrrh, gold and frankincens (Matthew 2: 1-12). This revelation is later recognized by the Eastern and Western churches and specially spread by the Catholic Church. It is the French who capitalize this particular event and to illustrate it they come up with octagonal-shaped bread that hides a fava bean representing Baby Jesus hidden in a secure place where King Herod won't find him.

It is from the French that Spain learns this event and it is from the Spaniards who bring it to America. Essentially Mexico likes this commemoration and takes it over not only to adopt it, but to adapt it with its own culinary crafts, decorating the bread on top with wild cactus and other fruits.

Rosca de Reyes. Experience the bread.
The traditional Rosca de Reyes has a very selective flavor that makes it different to any other sweet. Eventhough it is made with basic bread ingredients, such as butter, flour, sugar, eggs and yeast, it the touch of a citrus flavor that sparks its unique flavor and aroma. This bread is decoratively arranged on top with 'christilized fruit' such as: multicolor viznaga (wild cactus), cherries, fig, and orange. Not only these fruits beautify the Rosca, but these flavor blend with the slightly citrus taste of the bread to complete a delightful sensation.

Eating Rosca. Fiesta procedures.
Must haves at the time of event:
Hot cocoa chocolate v ready ( coffee is always permitted)
Rosca de Reyes v ready
Laughs, happiness and everybody must be ready for the cutting of the Rosca.

Everybody should be present including friends, family members, co-workers and LET THE PARTY BEGIN!

Each person cuts their own slice of the Rosca. No sequential order is necessary. Whomever gets the figurine is required to host another fiesta on February 2nd (Candelaria Day.)

It is Very very important to thoroughly search the bread by punchuring the center with a nife. All plastic figurines must be removed before eating.
